50 Best Coffee Shops in Columbus

“Best coffee!! Big fan of their Ube Iced coffee! They have a great flight of coffees to choose from. Amazing Service and the owner is so accommodating and nice!! Highly recommend!!!“

“Please add Shakeno8 to your summer plans! We went there yesterday for the first time and it was AMAZING! The staff was extremely helpful, kind and patient with my overwhelmed kiddo. Their menu is huge and everything sounds amazing, so she couldn't decide!! They had dairy free options for my lactose intolerant family member and vegan options as well. A tray of brownies came out fresh while we were there and it might have been the best I've ever had. Everything was delicious! Cannot recommend them highly enough!“

“love this spot looks corporate but feels like home. Good people, great food and the have private rooms..“

“Incredible coffee. We are from an area with amazing coffee shops and roasters so our standards are pretty high. Florin knocked it out of the park with their espresso-forward lattes and sproda - not to mention their personable customer service. Our only regret is living so far away or else this would be a regular spot for us!“

“This is such a cute little place! Service was great and food was amazing. I got the kouign-amann and a latte and both were 10/10. It can be hard to find quality coffee and pastries where I live so this was a great find. Only complaint is it’s so small that it’s hard to move around when there’s a lot of people inside. But it’s ok :)“

“Yo I rolled up yesterday and saw the “ice out” sign on the front door and was like sh*t no iced latte for me today. I realized I’m an idiot. Anyways my iced latte was great, thanks for being inclusive“

“It's so wonderful to finally have a non-starbucks coffee joint in my neighborhood. Service is wonderful and Deaf friendly - one of the staff knew a little bit of the manual alphabet. I love the fact there are soft chairs and a soft couch to sit on. With fibromyalgia,it's important I sit on soft furniture. Plenty of tables with chairs to sit to read, type on a laptop, have meetings, etc. The iced latte was delicious - I wished there were more gluten-free baked goods/meals. Plenty of natural light from large windows. FREE parking across the street.“

“Cute space, good coffee been recommending this place to anyone who will listen. Excited to try the Matcha next.“

“Fantastic experience. Best tea experience in Columbus.“

“Best coffee ever!!! I was first introduced to Jennings coffee at the Columbus coffee festival. I can't believe every single one i have ordered is fantastic!! I live in Sandusky and will definitely continue ordering faithfully!!“

“Read about the Honey Cup in Stock & Barrel and checked them out this weekend. Went on an early Saturday afternoon. There were a few patrons there, chill music, cool art. I asked about the cornbread latte and was told it was the barista's favorite. It had a buttery, sweet quality. It was delicious. Not overly sweet by any means. Went back on Sunday and had the orange mocha, again delicious. Hint of chocolate but the orange shined. I'll be back, and you should go!“

“Oh Churros is a delightful spot that never disappoints! Their empanadas are truly the best I've ever had—crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor inside. The service is consistently excellent, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Whether you're stopping by for a quick snack or a leisurely meal, Oh Churros is a must-visit! Highly recommend!“

“Good food good service!!! Highly recommended!!“

“This is my new favorite coffee spot in Columbus. I got the galaxy latte and it was delicious and perfectly balanced. My husband had a black tea lemonade and said it was the best one he’s ever had. Friendly staff and a cool, fun spot in Clintonville!“

“Delicious food, cofee and wonderful service 🥰“

“I haven't been inside the actual place yet, my orders have been delivered. But, I absolutely love Candy Cloud.. The layered drinks and coffee are delicious 😋 I will definitely become a regular.. Five stars all around the board!!!!“

“absolutely love upper cup coffee but I do miss them featuring local artists inside their shop. I thought that was such a cool idea. Any plans to bring that back?“

“Good customer service and wonderful foods“

“Coffee is great! The dessert selection is amazing and the location is central to lots of things. So excited this coffee shop is open!“

“Amazing service. Even better drinks. Come for the coffee snd stay for the friends! Get yourselves here asap!“

“Intriguing, inviting atmosphere with a fresh and unique array of beverages.“

“The egg sandwich is truly amazing. Perfect!!!“

“they even have vegan whip!“

“Always amazing, but today Sydnei absolutely was crushing drive thru. She checked in with us and asked us how we’re doing, explained the new seasonal flavors, and got our drinks out promptly. Love this 7 brew but today was exceptional.“

“Support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“I have enjoyed coming here for an occasional coffee. Better coffee and lattes than that place around the corner. The breakfast sandwiches are made fresh and good. I like the cheese balls as well. The place is a bit small, so I usually take my order to go. I also wish they were open later. I highly recommend the coffee!“

“Pros:
- Their drip coffee is usually dialed in real well
- The veggie cubano is delicious
- The people are awesome
- Parking is usually easy and convenient
- The patio is awesome for sunny day hangs

Cons:
- A $1 upcharge for plant milk in 2026 is nuts. I would not mind as much if they plant milks they had were good, but they are not. I would love to see them carry some barista blends, like Oatly/Chobani/Planet Oat for oat milk, or Pacific soy milk“

“Good food good service!!! Highly recommended!!“

“First time ever visiting and my sister and I had a great time! We both had iced Spicy Cats (chai latte) which were great, and the overall experience was really enjoyable. The cat lounge was clean and spacious for cats and visitors, and the staff present were very kind and friendly. It’s very obvious that the people here understand and respect cats, and most importantly, they CARE about them!! Thanks so much for a wonderful visit!“

“I had no idea this coffee shop existed, and I'm so glad I discovered it! It's a charming, laid-back spot with an excellent selection of coffees and teas. I stopped by later in the day, so I didn't get the chance to try the food, but everything on the menu looked tempting. With plenty of comfortable seating and a welcoming atmosphere, it's an easy place to relax. I'll definitely be coming back soon.“

“The best coffee ever and the desserts 5 stars“

“This was my actual first time at Brioso Coffee. But I’m very familiar with them. I attended the Columbus Coffee Festival the last few years, and I tried their coffee and it was a win for me. So, I guess you can say, I was more than happy to go to one of their locations. Like, finally! And downtown, of all places. Very convenient. I will be going more often. The maple latte is delicious!“

“Thank you for supporting our local immigrant community! 🇺🇸“

“OMG their Ube Matcha is soooooo goood! The staff are incredibly helpful and supportive and it's the cutest little spot. I'm excited to come back on a day off to just chill and read and hang out with them! 10/10 Recommend for everyone to go try out!“

“Wonderful place to have coffee and enjoy the morning!!“

“Great cup of Joe and the staff is super wonderful!“

“A classic for a reason! There’s always something fresh at any hour of the day or night, and the friendly staff is happy to help you pick. For the locals, early mornings, late nights, and school breaks are the time to go - you can generally park somewhere nearby long enough to run in at off times.“

“I promise you you’ll feel like you’re in a Funhouse or a nightclub with the music. The concept with music was definitely a good move by the owners. They had so many different customizable flavors as well as options for kids. Plus the drinks were so good that I forgot to take a picture for this review!

I had toasted marshmallow with chocolate when I asked the barista to make me something that tastes it like s’mores. You name it, whatever taste you want, they can make it! My daughter got slushy and they made it taste like cotton candy. You better believe I had a sip of hers! 😂“

“We were looking for a last minute cake for the 2 year old in our life. This bakery was recommended a while ago on a Facebook page so I thought we’d give it a try after looking at what they offered. The staff was amazing and made sure they asked if it was for a birthday. They put a chocolate ‘Happy Birthday’ candy on top and gave us candles, a cake cutter and matches. Really a thoughtful gift to help celebrate her birthday. She LOVED the chocolate cloud cake since it mixed her favorites both berries and chocolate. We can’t wait to go back and try the other yummy options.“

“Black Kahawa is one of my favorite places to grab coffee. The drinks are always great, the staff is friendly, and the place has a nice, relaxed vibe. Whether I’m in a rush or have time to sit, it’s always a good stop.“

“Not only are all their delicious goodies glutten free, they frequently have gluten free versions of foods that, as someone who found out they could not tolerate gluten until later in life, I thought I'd never have again. Like zebra cakes, cosmic brownies, sticky buns. So good. And the people that work there are so nice! They also have stock of other gluten free items that are hard to find.“

“It’s the best I’ve had in desserts“

“The drinks and prices are good. Tons of options available. I love the sheer number of sugar free options. The app makes it easy to order and super convenient. The only downsides I see are the frequently long lines and occasional (but rare) mistakes in orders.

That said, I love this place..“

“We ordered a smores cake for my son's birthday. I called on the drive from Cleveland to Columbus to ask if they had candles. The man who answered was so friendly and kind. He explained that candles and a cake cutter (with built in matches) are included with the purchase. He also told me to drive safe and take my time getting there. The girls working were friendly and did a beautiful job on the cake. I will 100% return! Oh and the cake was absolutely delicious!
This place could easily train multiple other places on how to interact with customers. What a gem of a find!“

“My girlfriends and I come here once a month for breakfast before we go and play board games all day. First of all, the food could be terrible but we’d still come back because the wait staff is so personable and friendly. But the food is also always amazing so that is a perk! It doesn’t matter who our waiter is they all seem to meander over to say hi. Always so attentive and genuinely seem like they’re happy to be at work. I can’t wait until our next visit.“

“If this place were located in the suburbs, I would be in immense trouble because the bevs (both coffee and alcohol), the books, and the overall cozy vibes could easily rapture me as a regular.“

“We came in Sunday and loved it ! Returned Tuesday on our way back to Cincinnati!!! Delicious and great staff!!! Will recommend!“

“quick and friendly service. great options for tea , coffee, and other drinks, plus various things to eat. I got a beef bahm mi.“
